Your Donations Are Making A Difference In Nepal - Thank You

Surya, our Nepalese partner, stands in front of a home in the village of Halete. Not one of the 55 homes that existed before the earthquake stands today.

Nepal got rocked again. This time by a 7.3 earthquake. According to Aljazeera, at least 66 people have been killed. More than 300,000 homes were completely destroyed, or made to dangerous to live in. What little shelter there was, has become even more infrequent. People fear being buried alive by rubble, and continue to sleep on the streets. The death toll has reached more than 8,200 people.

Another scary factor- monsoon season is just around the corner. With the rains starting in late may, landslides threaten to close the few roads that are open. Help might not be able to reach the rural secluded villages.

Surya has been reaching out to those villagers. In Halete, his team passed out blankets, rice, onions and soap to every house hold.

Medicine was distributed where necessary. Over 80 people were injured from April 25th's earthquake.

Other food staples, lentils, oil, masala, salt and spices, were allocated. Food supplies are best provided by locals, who understand the dietary needs and traditions of the Nepali people. Donated canned food like tuna and mayonnaise often go to waste.

Additional help is needed. Unless you have a medical or disaster-relief background, it is not necessary the time to volunteer in Nepal. You can help through additional monetary donations.

Testimonials

"...I feel honored and humbled to have had an affect on the lives of the people there and I feel greatful for having been able to share in the overall positivity of the program’s efforts and the its effect on the community.. The people are infectious, and if you start to pick up on the ebb and flow of their way of life, and make the effort to respect it and abide by it, they will make you one of their own."

"...I was able to work on my Thai most with the children... in a local orphanage, since I was able to volunteer there thanks to The Volunteer Bay. The children were younger than the ones I taught, and they also spoke very limited English, so it was an entirely new experience with friendly, adorable, smiling faces. I spent time with them coloring, playing musical chairs, playing with clay, and eating dinner..."

"...it's a great volunteer project for anyone that is passionate about wildlife and wants to support the efforts of rescuing animal victims of illegal trade and its consequences... The experience of working with this family and a wide array of animals like wooly monkeys, titi monkeys, ocelots, pecaris and tonnes of native birds was truly inspiring."

"They were very helpful throughout the whole way, asking all my questions no matter how silly, and helping me with all the details of my trip!...I would definitely recommend volunteering at an Animal Shelter, as well as visiting Thailand and doing so through the Volunteer Bay. Such a welcoming country with so much to offer!"
